[comp.dcom.telecom] Bugging Detectors

fc@lexicon.com (Frank Cunningham) (07/13/89)

About a week back, someone mentioned in passing bugging detectors.
I would like to know:
-What are some of the detection technologies used ?
-What assumptions do they make about the nature of the bug ?
-How are they calibrated ?
-How sensitive are various schemes to local line variations due
to extension loading, rain and ice, etc ?
-How can a user distinguish between an honest supplier and some
ex-intelligence type selling snake oil for gullible Republicans ?
